How tall is Dave Bautista

Dave Bautista's Height

6ft 2 ¾ (189.9 cm)

American Professional Wrestler and actor known for roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Riddick and Spectre. One of his claims was "I'm 6ft 5" and another visitor said they saw him claiming "6ft 3".

I stay about 265; that's just my natural body weight that I walk around at. I will probably weigh-in between 262 and 265. Most people who see me that remember me from wrestling, the way they make it sound as if I look anorexic. It's like, "God, you have gotten so small." But I'm 6'4" and 265 pounds. I don't know how people could consider that small, but I guess by wrestling standards it is.
- FightHype.com, 2012

Batista has been given 6'8 at WCW training facility in 1997-1999, when he was wrestled as an amateur.

6'7 at OVW (WWE's promotion member) around 1999-2001.

6'6 - 6'5 in WWE during 2002-2010.

Later changed to 6'4 at his return in 2014-2015 (Might be because nonsense WWE finally realized they can't have Batista at 6'6 and Randy Orton at an honest 6'4, LMAO) and then finally... down to 6'3 around 2017 to present day, thanks to this website.

So, let's judge him at his Peak during his 2002-2008 WWE run, since he was born in 1968 that would make him around 30 to 40 years old during that period and it would be the proper period to use the word "Peak".

He was always inch and a half taller than a legit 6'4 Randy Orton, that made him 6'2.5 in his peak. As for today, due to heavy steroid using and lifting 300 lbs for over 20 years+, his height has shrink down to 6'1.5 and that's what he looked with Chris Pratt in their photo shoot together back in 2014. Who knows, today he might fall as low as 6'1.25 or even 6'1 flat.

However, I will give him the extra 2014 sauce that would put him exactly as 6'2.5 in his Prime (1997-2010)and 6'1.5 from 2014-today.

viper said on 18/Mar/19He was never 6-3.

Looked barely 6-2 with 6-4.5 measured David Noel in 2006.

edwards said on 16/Mar/19dave is 6'2 currently and maybe 6'3 at peak imho

Canson said on 14/Mar/19@Juggernaut: he is probably just 6’2” today

Space said on 14/Mar/19Batista was 6’2.75” max in his prime, he was slightly taller than 6’2” Goldberg, 6’2” Lesnar, 6’2” HHH in the early 2000s

juggernaut said on 12/Mar/19Batista is still 6'2' he is atleast an inch taller than 6'1'5 Triple H.. I'd say 6'2'5 for Batista, he doesn't have a good posture..

miko said on 9/Mar/19Still 6'2.5 range. If he's lost any height it's not noticeable yet.

Tall Sam said on 5/Mar/19I think in photos where RZA looks taller than Bautista, Dave might be standing a little looser or leaning more so, sometimes they can look similar in some photos. There's a chance that Bautista can still straighten up to 6'2" range today, but a little height loss is likely from his peak after presumed years of extreme weight lifting.

Rexasaw said on 4/Mar/19Dude has thick face, neck and waist.

He’s 6’1’’ at age 50

viper said on 3/Mar/19I can believe 6-1. He looks clearly shorter than 6-2 RZA

rawdshaq said on 2/Mar/19@Alex M Lmao dude Billy Gunn and Batista at 5'10"? Dude I don't know if you are trolling or not but there is no damn way Batista is 5'10" and especially Billy Gunn they are both about 6'2 1/2" or 6'3"

Vegas' said on 1/Mar/195'11 is nuts. I met him in 2004 and am ~180.5cm barefoot measured on a stadiometer. He was noticeably taller than me but obviously shorter than my 6'4 friend. Not buying he was walking around hotel in lifts either

NO LIFTS: with lifts, Pratt and Dave can out-height one another by 3-4" but they are the same 5' 10."
5' 10" bare foot above average height and with a lil lift help gets 'em into 6 foot range or more. Review the publicity shots on images and you will see the huge variation in their heights even on level ground.

And remember, anything 5' 10" and above bare foot for a man enters respectable male stature often mistaken for "6 feet." Just look them straight in their eyes, alone, and ask Ah-nold and Chris Pratt.

Alex M. said on 23/Feb/19Height Interpol, Baby!

Paul NS (6ft 0.5) said on 23/Feb/19Alex M: LOL. I guess at least you aren't as obviously wrong as someone like Charlie at least xD

Alex M. said on 22/Feb/19Fellow height watchers, including Paul NS, accurate height measures evade most and especially for "celebs." However, I advocate truth based on close-up, physical observation and fairly assessing bare foot height. Stating true un-shoed, un-heelstacked, un-lifted, non-special effects height doesn't mean I like these characters any less or don't enjoy their showmanship. In fact, I appreciate their performances about 2 to 4 inches more.

rawdshaq said on 20/Feb/19Is Batista is 5'11" then Hornswoggle is 7'1"

Paul NS (6ft 0.5) said on 16/Feb/19Alex M is a downgrade troll. No use trying to reason with him.

TruthChecker said on 13/Feb/19@Alex M
5’11 1/4” is a joke for Batista’s height today. Batista is at the very least 6’0.5” today, probably 6’1.25” today as is the rock 6’1.25” today.

K123 said on 6/Feb/19Peak 188..current may be 187.check him with Vince diesel and Daniel craig.he was very similar to mark Henry when both were in dress shoes..appeared two inches taller than Bobby lashley who was 184 cms but with atleast 1/2 inch boot advantage.. one of the most overbilled wrestlers in his height range..Dwayne Johnson and edge were also similar to him..peak 188 and current 187

Public Enemy said on 3/Feb/19Peak 191 cm
Current 189 cm

rawdshaq said on 3/Feb/19A guy who was 6'2 3/4" got billed at 6'6", lol

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 26/Dec/184.5" high eye level makes Bautista look taller. I would rule out 6'2 1/2 not more.

Canson said on 25/Dec/18I doubt he was quite like the Rock. I see him being taller at his peak and today

heightchecker34 said on 20/Dec/18I still believe Batista has always been a 6'2.5 guy at most. If he ever was 6'3, then it was before wrestling, because even in his early years in WWE, he always looked about an inch and a half shorter than 6'4 Randy Orton and half an inch shorter than 6'3 Edge, despite wearing bigger lifts. Even in his later comeback years, he always wears those big construction boots, and still didn't look too much larger than fellow 6'2-6'3 wrestlers. He is the same height as peak Bill Goldberg.

Hasnain Zia said on 10/Dec/18rob i saw this video from 2014. this is batista with alberto del rio and if del rio is 6.2 then you can see that batista's head is higher than del rio. this would mean that he is still over 6.2 easily and may be over 6 2.5 also. the only problem is his posture and may also because of the fact that he has lost a lot of muscle. muscle can also make you look taller. what do you say about this rob.Click Here

Editor Rob

I can see why many would give Dave 6ft 3 peak and 2.5 today.

Hasnain Zia said on 7/Dec/18rob do you think he is taller than sheamus

Editor Rob

Well Sheamus is somewhere in 6ft 2 range, not really 6ft 3, Dave might at one stage been near 6ft 3, but still today I think looks 189-90 if he stands with good posture.

berta said on 7/Dec/18190.5-191 cm peak and 189,5 today seems pretty realistic for him. dont think he really was under 6 foot 3 20 years ago.

184guy2 said on 26/Nov/18@Rob
Don't you think that a slightly upgrade to 6'3 PEAK is fair ?

Editor Rob

It may be a possibility, he could be like the Rock.

Hasnain Zia said on 25/Nov/18rob how tall do you think he was when he used to make randy orton look short untill 2005. i think 6 foot 4. what do you say

184guy2 said on 21/Nov/18@John Barrett
That's because Batista lose height . He went from looking 6'3 11 years ago to look ''only'' 6'2 nowdays . But he still edges Pratt .

BURN IT DOWWWWWN! said on 16/Nov/18@John Barrett In wrestling they wear thick boots and there's camera tricks to make them appear bigger. Batista is an example because with wrestlers like Randy Orton he looked around the same height even though barefoot or in the same footwear he'd be shorter.

John barrett said on 5/Nov/18What's odd about Dave is he looks shorter then Chris Pratt who is 6'2 or just under it and if go look at photos of them two Chris looks taller? When wrestlers are with each other they look taller when they are with others they look shorter?

TheBat said on 30/Oct/18Good listing for Dave. Though he could probably be 6'3".

miko said on 29/Oct/18In comparable footwear it has always been a very solid 1/1'25 between Orton and Batista.

I do think at his tallest Orton is a fraction over 6'4 though. I think a flat 6'3 is the absolute maximum Dave was/is, the majority of the time he looks 6'2.5/6'2.75 range today.

Iril said on 25/Oct/18Everyone saying that he was taller than Orton on the instagram pic... than guys you have no idea of angles can do on a pic and Batista has all the top angle advantage.. He probably is 189 cm today and nothing over 255lbs

184guy2 said on 23/Oct/18Oh yeah , Batista is 6'7 nowdays

Editor Rob

I'm sure in a good pair of High Heels he might get near it.

Manpreet Singh Virk said on 21/Oct/18Bautista is currently around 6'5.

Joseph said on 20/Oct/18People who saw Dave Batista in the SD 1000, and still argue that he's under 6'3 '' are dumb. Yes, he was wearing boots, they give him 4 cms (1.30 inches). In the photo of Randy's instagram, in some angles Dave tower him, (though randy was wearing shoes) I still admit that Dave is around 1.91 and randy 1.94 (6'4'') .Anyways, I'm anxious to get down here the so called "peek height". Then I have a lot to testify against the haters...

Juby said on 20/Oct/18Dave's boots gave him 3-3,5 cm on SmackDown 1000, the rest guys add themselfs max. 2cm.

WhaleinaTeardrop said on 17/Oct/18Dave was wearing Engineer/Biker boots last night which are usually good for an inch or two. HHH usually wears big boots when he's not in a suit which would explain why he and Dave appeared to be so close in height.

I'm 6'4.5" and had a good 1.5-2.0 inches on Frank Thomas(White Sox) when wearing my Harley boots and Orthotics while he had on Loafers at a book signing last year. I'd met him before and we were eye-to-eye when he had on loafers and I had on Nike AF1s and thin Orthotics.

juggernaut said on 17/Oct/18Looked 6'3' at SD 1000, a full inch taller than Triple H and a little shorter than Orton..He looked same as Triple H in 2014 and around 2 inches shorter than Orton..Was Dave wearing inner lifts?? He looked a solid 6'3' no joke..

Desade said on 17/Oct/18Dave stood face to face with Triple H (who could be slightly under 6'2) at Smackdown 1000th and looked around an inch taller than him so Dave could be just under 6'3

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Oct/18Looks 6ft3½-4 w/h Cena

Hasnain Zia said on 10/Oct/18He used to tower john cena. Just see this pic as he is in a relax posture and can easily tower cena by 4 inches. Doesnt that make him 6'4 in his prime. What do you say robClick Here

Editor Rob

You could argue 6ft 3 and half there.

Bobby (5'10) said on 5/Oct/186'3 is a believable claim for him, but 6'5? That's not believable. He'd be 6'3.5 out of bed.

tree said on 28/Sep/18Alex B said on 10/Sep/18
I swear the WWE said he was 6.6 ft tall at the start. Most WWE stars have 3 inch heals. So 6.3 ft would make sense.

Are you kidding?most give only 1 inch

Zampo said on 18/Sep/18Looks around 189 cm flat today I think. I still remember his intitial WWE gimmick, "Deacon Batista".

@Alex B, Yh. I think he was billed something like 6'6 but he always claimed 6'4 personally.

miko said on 17/Sep/18Martyn Ford looks a weak 6'6 guy from what I've seen of him. 6'8 is impossible.

Alex B said on 10/Sep/18I swear the WWE said he was 6.6 ft tall at the start. Most WWE stars have 3 inch heals. So 6.3 ft would make sense.

Lanky said on 7/Sep/18Rob, what would you give his co-star bodybuilder Martyn Ford? He’s consistently claimed 6’8” but surely you could be forgiving for thinking he doesn’t look that alongside Dave here?

Generally doesn't seem that tall. His proportions of course aren't condusive to looking anywhere near that tall on his own, but obviously he is still several inches over Dave, but as much as 5 or so? Maybe not.

Ashish said on 4/Sep/18I'm sorry but it seems a lot of people here haven't seen Batista of 2002-04 , he always had strong 2 inches over Goldberg & Lesnar, I would say a fraction below 6'5 was his peak height, and now he's below 6'2 after the back surgery , and some 80 lbs lighter than what he used to be.

Crane said on 22/Aug/18@Ndjdjk You got it right there, buddy!

It's hard to reason with these casuals, who know absolutely nothing about REAL height.

viper said on 6/Aug/186-4.5 David Noel had an easy 2.5 inches on him at his peak height in 2006

Poemyboy said on 5/Aug/18Probably closer to 6'2" now especially with the hunch and everything. At his peak he is probably a weak 6'4", being close if not the same as Randy Orton in height.

Sean 5'10 said on 24/Jul/18I don’t remember when this was but one time I saw on Wikipedia, that Dave Bautista’s height was 6’6

miko said on 23/Jul/18He's always looked weak 6'3 range, and still looks close to that today. He might have lost an tiny fraction, but definitely nothing noticeable, he doesn't seem too damaged by wrestling and seems in good health compared to some other late 40's wrestlers.

When he very first joined the company he was being billed at 6'7 as Leviathan, and was wearing some pretty big boots. Which looked very stupid as 6 months later face to face with 6'4 Randy Orton he was a solid inch shorter.

tree said on 22/Jul/18In his PEAK he looked every bit of 190cm,check him out with Lashley,Triple H,Orton,Cena..

Theanswer said on 22/Jul/18Prime 2004-05 he was 6’3.5” 280lbs.
Today he is 6’1” 260lbs

Crane said on 9/Jul/18@Christian @Canson @Gracian There's no way he was 6'2.75 even at his peak, let alone a FULL 6'3 or anything higher. But he does looked for sure, a proper 6'2.5 at his peak (1999-2010). Today, he's 6'1.5, a fraction shorter than 6'1.75 Chris Pratt.

Gracian said on 2/Jul/18Rob, I think that both Bautista and The Rock need an update. Here is my opinion:
Dwayne Johnson peak 6'3.25" and today 6'2.5".
Dave Bautista peak 6'3" and today 6'2.5".
Although Bautista is 3 years older than The Rock, Johnson has a much greater tendency to lose height. Rob, do you see these numbers as possible for them?

Editor Rob

One day I think a 6ft 3 peak is probably fair

Canson said on 28/Jun/18@Christian: yup 6’3 tops peak

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 27/Jun/18I can see 6'3" peak but not 6'4", that's just a bit too high.

Hasnain said on 26/Jun/18Robi think he was 6'4 at his peak. He has shrunk just way too much after that. If you see this video clip he looks taller than Randy Orton back in 2005. But now he is nowhere near his height. What do you sayClick Here

Editor Rob

He might have lost half inch.

viper said on 21/Jun/186-2 peak

MAD SAM said on 14/Jun/18Bad posture gonna give him 188 cm though cause he’s nowhere close to Chris Hemsworth’s height in infinity war

Goran Pavlovic said on 18/May/18I always thought that he is 2 meters tall.

Ian555 said on 17/May/18Hey Rob do you think Bautista could be 6’1 instead? I’ve watched both Guardians of the Galaxy movies and he looks shorter than 6’2 Chris Pratt. Plus there are a few photos online that show he might be shorter than him.

Editor Rob

Not seen enough to think he is that short.

Leno said on 15/May/18I think he is 190cm, the main problem with him is bad posture I think, that is why guys like Pratt and Reynolds can look same height as him,even though he is a little taller

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 9/May/18@Crane

I doubt Copeland was the full 6'3" at peak. He looked no taller than The Rock who was 6'2.75" peak.

berta said on 8/May/18i actually think bautista could be atleast same height as dwayne johnson 20 years ago. today 189-190 is about right but peak i can believe just over 190. he have that same bad posture as dwayne johnson.

Crane said on 8/May/18@Christian-6'5 3/8 Peak Dave Bautista is half an inch shorter than Peak 6'3 Adam Copeland. You guys need to watch him wrestle in OVW (1999-2001). Back then Dave looked exactly on spot at 6'2.5, inch and a half shorter than 6'4 Randy Orton, 1 cm taller than 6'2 Triple H.

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 5/May/18@Junior

Copeland might be a bit shorter than Bautista today but peak I think both were about weak 6'3".

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 3/May/18Hardly believe that Copeland was shorter than Bautista.

62B said on 30/Apr/18Juby5'9 3/4 said on 26/Apr/18
I saw "Avengers: Infinity War" yesterday and there was a scene with Thor standing 'face to face' with Drax. Chris looks 1-2 cm taller than Dave! Haven't seen their footwear, and Chris of course has fairs! But still, Bautista is shorter than Hemsworth.
_____________________________________________________

I saw it too. I would guess Hemsworth has him by a good inch. But like you said. We don't know if anyone had a footwear advantage

Tall Sam said on 27/Apr/18Compared to Dwayne Johnson, he looks like he's maintained more height, maybe he'd edge him by a solid half inch, and his chest and back are more formidable, he looks like a really strong dude.

Smiles03 said on 26/Apr/18Was 6'3

goodini026 said on 26/Apr/18@185 guy The Rock just has bigger arms and slightly bigger legs. Batista has a much bigger/wider back. Batista also outweighs The Rock by almost 20lbs

Juby5'9 3/4 said on 26/Apr/18I saw "Avengers: Infinity War" yesterday and there was a scene with Thor standing 'face to face' with Drax. Chris looks 1-2 cm taller than Dave! Haven't seen their footwear, and Chris of course has fairs! But still, Bautista is shorter than Hemsworth.

Halb said on 25/Apr/18Looked the same height as Tom on KImmel, with chunky boots too.

185 guy said on 8/Apr/18Big Dave Batista was for sure taller than Randy Orton,6'4'', in his evolution days of 2002-5 he was 6'5.5'' for sure, if Undertaker was 6'7 in his peak days so batista must be 6'5 for sure and from 2010 to present, the Rock is actually physically just bigger than Batista and might edge out an 1'' on Big Dave, Undertaker only towered Batista by 2'' So the people saying the Big Dave is taller than BIGGER Dwayne are actually fools and should visit mental hospitals, and one more thing: When Big Dave returned on 2009 after injury he looked as same height as Randy Orton,6'4''. He had a little height loss from 2010 to 2014

185 guy said on 8/Apr/18Big Dave Batista was for sure taller than Randy Orton,6'4'', in his evolution days of 2002-5 he was 6'5.5'' for sure, if Undertaker was 6'7 in his peak days so batista must be 6'5 for sure and from 2010 to present, the Rock is actually physically just bigger than Batista and might edge out an 1'' on Big Dave, Undertaker only towered Batista by 2'' So the people saying the Big Dave is taller than BIGGER Dwayne are actually fools and should visit mental hospitals

Canson said on 19/Mar/18I would have Batista edging the rock out slightly. Today it’s hard to say but even today I’d still say he’s taller. Batista looks 6’2.5 still at times whereas Rock can look 6’1 at times and probably is a about 6’2 in reality

Crane said on 8/Mar/18@berta Forget about 6'3 or anything higher... He's not even a TRUE 6'2.75 in his Prime! Just look at all his matches from 1999 to 2007, especially those matches he had with a TRUE 6'4 Randy Orton from 2004-2007. You'll see that he always looked at his best, a proper 6'2.5.

berta said on 7/Mar/18i can actually believe thiws guy to be a legit 6 foot 3 at peak. this guy took mutch more steroids than dwqayne johnson did earlier in his carrer. bautista was a beast and still i with no fat. could be in a bodybuilder contest almost. i think taking that amount of sterouds for 30 years have made him go from legit 6 foot 3 to 189. he doesnt look that mutch taller than pratt. not an inch taller

Crane said on 22/Feb/18JR once said on Raw "The Animal Batista, 6'6 maybe 6'7, 318 pounds" That just insane! He always looked 6'2.5 at his prime 1999-2007. 6'1.5 max these days.

Shivam said on 22/Feb/18Sorry for what i said on 18 Feb. I didn't knew that taker's peak height was 6'7 so 6'6 for a young batista

miko said on 19/Feb/18Rock would edge out Batista if both stood tall.

Shivam said on 18/Feb/18I've changed my mind now I will say that he must be 6'9 in his younger days. Can't believe? See his picture with undertaker

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Feb/18Christian, an old wrestling site had him down at it. I'll look for it. I think occasionally he would get called that. Mainly 6ft5 though...

Shivam said on 17/Feb/18Today he must be 6'2.5 but in his prime he must have been 6'6 for sure. Still one massive guy

Vegas said on 17/Feb/18Jordan87 said on 7/Feb/18
Batista is no doubt in my mind taller than the Rock.
--------

Go on YouTube and check how batista measured up to HHH upon his return on raw in January 2014...compare that with rock and HHH at Wrestlemania 31 and actually rock looks taller based on that

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 13/Feb/18@Rampage

I’ve never seen or heard the Rock getting called 6’6”. Only 6’5” or 6’4”. If that’s true then that’s insane.

Canson said on 13/Feb/18@Rampage: wow! 6’6??? Today that would be a huge inflation lol

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Feb/18IMDB have him down at 6ft6...unbelievable

I do distinctly recall The Rock also getting called that back in the day

Jordan87 said on 7/Feb/18@ CHarlie CJ,

Honestly the Rock looking over 6'2 sometimes looks doubtful. He was barely taller than 6'1 Obama, check his page on this site. Batista is no doubt in my mind taller than the Rock.

Charlie CJ said on 5/Feb/18Rob, is 6'3.25 peak possible for Batista.., he was taller than The Rock had about 1.25 on Triple H and always looked half inch short than Orton in evolution days and was same height as Edge in 2005 who I believe was 6'3.25-5 at peak..

Jordan87 said on 5/Feb/186'2.75" is what I think he is, I think he dips under the 6'3 Mark Slightly.

Juan said on 4/Feb/18I've seen Randy Orton in the gym just feet away and he's a legit 6-4.

Bautista is around the same height. 6-4 in his prime.

rikashiku said on 2/Feb/18Looking at old and newer pictures, I am definitely behind him being 6'2.5" or even less.

@ 62B said on 28/Jan/18

As people age their bodies start to slouch and compress. It particularly affects taller people who later in life can encounter back, knee, and neck pains. My brother when he was 22 measured 197cm, about 6'5.5". Now he's mostly measuring in at 195cm and 194cm. Between 6'4" and 6'5" at 34. He also weighs significantly more and that definitely doesn't help.

Philip Ford said on 2/Feb/18Rob what would be his peak height in your opinion and when do you think will be right time to give him a peak height..

Editor Rob

He might be like The Rock, 6ft 3 and 2.5 soon...

62B said on 28/Jan/18Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 5/Jan/18
@juggernaut

If Batista's only 6'2" today, he couldn't have been 6'3.25" peak. I don't see him losing 1.25" like that only at 48.
_____________________________________________________________

The absolute tallest I was ever measured was 6'3.25" when I was 19 and in the Army. Today I am 49 and I was measured 2 weeks ago at 6'2.25". I was shocked. I had the nurse measure twice just to makes sure.

Shuvayu said on 16/Jan/18Seriously doubt the credibility of this site ... the rock billed taller than edge here... which camera angles ever proved that

Shubo said on 15/Jan/18Prime young Batista - 191cm
Current Batista - 189cm

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 14/Jan/18@juggernaut

Or could've been thicker footwear

juggernaut said on 13/Jan/18Christian-6'5 3/8 Not sure but he was a bit taller than Dwayne in 2004..an inch taller than Goldberg and triple H..maybe he was in lifts who knows..he certainly looked taller than today..

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 11/Jan/18@juggernaut

I just don't see Bautista ever being anything over 6'3" though. Rob has him correctly at 6'2.75" peak.

juggernaut said on 11/Jan/18@Christian-6'5⅜ Bautista has undergone various surgeries over the years..muscle tears,knees,backs..He was taller than 6'2'Goldberg in 2003 by an inch,taller than even a solid 6'3' Rock,was only half an inch shorter than Randy Orton .He clearly lost more than an inch over the years..

Shivam said on 9/Jan/18He towered Revendered Dvon who is 6'2 by 2 or 4 inches so he must be 6'5.75 or simply 6'6

Ricky said on 9/Jan/18Rob,in my opinion you should give him peak and current

Anonymous said on 9/Jan/18Rob he is now listed at 190cm

Ricky said on 6/Jan/18@Christian-6'5⅜

You believe that or you know that he is only 6'2" nowadays?

There are rumours of him returning back in wrestling.

We'll see then that is he flat 6'2" only.

And one thing I want to share about earlier times.
A 6'2.75" guy was never billed at 6'6".
For being billed more than 3 inches either he got to be a cruiserweight division guy or to be legit 6'5" atleast.

Kurt Angle was an exception of being billed at 6'2" but after some years he was also downgraded to 6'.

Batista had surgeries of back and knee in the past.
He once had surgery back in 2005 and then in 2008.

The only reason that I understand of him being not able to give tall impression is because he is not lanky,he is too mascular among his fellow hollywood actors and he was too mascular back in 2002 among his fellow wrestlers.
That's why some people in the comment section even said that he is in 6'1" range.

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 5/Jan/18@juggernaut

If Batista's only 6'2" today, he couldn't have been 6'3.25" peak. I don't see him losing 1.25" like that only at 48.

Canson said on 4/Jan/18Bautista was never 6’3.75-6’4. He may have been 6’3” peak max.

juggernaut said on 4/Jan/18sarwara lovi said on 20/Dec/17
Click Here look at 2:05 clearly taller than Lesnar by more than an inch

at 2:05 Lesnar and Batista looks the same but i'd say Batista was almost an inch taller than Lesnar but not more..
IMO Batista was 6'3'25 in his prime and could be as low as 6'2' today..

.. said on 2/Jan/18192cm similar to Game

JJStyles said on 2/Jan/18Nah he looks either 6'4 or 6'5

Dave bautista said on 1/Jan/18Batista had a surgery on his leg which could be why he shrunk also in his prime 05-08 he stood around 6’3.75-6’4
But now he is about 6’2.5 but still one massive guy

andre said on 30/Dec/17191cm with shoes in the morning prime was 193cm with shoes

Canson said on 29/Dec/17@Checker: he looks like he can still be 6’2 today

Represent said on 28/Dec/176’3.25”- 6’3” 280lbs prime.

6’1.75”-6’1.5” 265lbs today.

The dude has shrunk from a giant specimen to just a large man

Canson said on 27/Dec/17@Checker: he may have been close to 6’3” peak. I can’t see 6’1” range but 6’2” possibly

Ricky said on 26/Dec/17@sarwara lovi

I appreciate all your posts.
Agreed with you too.

sarwara lovi said on 23/Dec/17Click Here barely 0.5 inch between Batista and Orton, this video is a proof that he was no shorter than 6'3.5 in his prime... so him being 6'1.75 or 6'2 at peak is absolutely joke...

Logan said on 22/Dec/17Strong 6'3" looks a little taller than Triple H. And about 4 inches shorter than Undertaker

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 22/Dec/17@checker

He may be 6'2" worst case today but I'm not sure if he was as low as that at peak.

checker said on 20/Dec/17Canson, he was never taller than 6'2. There was a great picture with 6'4.5 David Noel in 2006 where he looked barely 6'2. It wouldnt surprise me If he was just 6'1.75 peak.

Today Batista looks 6'1.

sarwara lovi said on 20/Dec/17Click Here look at 2:05 clearly taller than Lesnar by more than an inchClick Here look at 5:15 1 inch taller than 6'2.5 Goldberg...Click Here half inch shorter than Orton in 2008, Dave is about to turn 49 in less than a month so obviously he has lost height but in his prime he was clearly no shorter than 6'3.5 or 6'4

Juggernaut said on 20/Dec/17Dave Bautista was so much taller and bigger in his prime like 2003-2010 He looked 6'3'25 and I guess 6'4'+ in his boots..Today unfortunately Dave has lost more than an inch He struggles to look even 6'2' these days though I believe it's his poor posture and could be absolutely 189-190 if he stood straight..Dave in his prime was taller than Lesnar,Triple H,The Rock,Goldberg..barely looked shorter than 6'4' Randy Orton..

Canson said on 19/Dec/17Around 6’3 peak looks reasonable could mean 6’2.5-6’3 like Christian said or maybe was full 6’3 once upon a time

Joe said on 19/Dec/17He’s 6’1 today.

Coolio said on 18/Dec/17He has clearly lost height I think it is time he should get a peak height at 6'3.25-5 and his current height should be 6'2.5.. He was taller than 6'2.25 Roman Reigns in 2014 and Taller than 6'2 Delrio whome rob have met, in 2001 he had 1 or more on brock lesnar, had 1 solid inch on goldberg in 2003, same height as 6'3 peak Edge in 2007 half inch shorter than 6'4 Randy Orton in Evolution days and Half inch taller than 6'3 peak The Rock in 2004

Vegas said on 17/Dec/17That video is from 2002 and flair was certainly taller than 5'9 in 2002. However backstage video like that if of little use because it's a shoulder mounted camera so anyone just slightly closer will fain an advantage

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 13/Dec/17@Ricky

Ric was more like 5'10" in shoes because he's 5'9" barefoot. And Batista being 6"-6.5" taller puts him 6'4"-6'4.5" in boots. So 6'2.5"-6'3" barefoot similar to how he's listed here at 6'2.75"

The following heights told by me are my opinions,if you people want to agree then fine but if not don't come to confront me

Juggernaut said on 5/Dec/17@Christian-6'5 3/8 Even I don't think Dave is anything above 189 today I.e a bit above 6'2' But the pics you posted below except for RZA Dave doesn't have a good posture and he actually does look more than 2cm taller near Sam Smith..I'd say its because of Dave's poor posture he'd be equal to Chris Hemsworth (just guessing based on the pic) I have to assume Dave Can pull off 190 with good posture,He did lose height from his late 30s where I believe he was a bit above 6'3' tbh..Dave looks more like 6'2' due to his bad posture but I can still bet he is 190cm ,at worst a hair below but he'd be taller than Dwayne even if by a little..

Canson said on 4/Dec/17@Christian: yes yet some of these people here love inflating these big wrestlers and say he’s 6’4 and 6’5. Wouldn’t surprise me if not even above 6’2.75 peak although I buy a full 6’3” possible too peak

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 3/Dec/17Looks about a cm shorter than 190cm Chris Hemsworth Click Here and no taller than 188cm listed RZA Click Here and 2cm taller than 186cm Sam Smith. Click Here I have a really hard time seeing Dave as tall as 6'2.75" today.

Canson said on 30/Nov/17@Ricky: how do you know that D-Von was a legit 6’1”? There is no evidence that he was. If the guy were 6’4” rob would list his peak height at that. Rob if he hasn’t met someone does his research before he lists a height and is more likely to overlist someone than he is to underlist them as he would give the benefit of the doubt

He had 3 inches over D-Von who is 6'1" and you'll also see Randy and Batista are equal.

Randy was 22 and Dave was 33.

hunt said on 27/Nov/17rob if batista and dwayne stood eye to eye who do you think will be taller ? 🤔

Editor Rob: they have to be very close these days.

Canson said on 27/Nov/17Ricky this guy peak was likely 6’3 maybe 6’3-6’3.25. That shows how fake wrestling heights really are.

Ricky said on 25/Nov/17There's something really wrong with him.

When I see Batista of year 2002 and Batista of year 2014 I feel like they are two different persons.

I believe that maybe at some point in his life he was 6'4".

When he did his first movie in 2006,the IMDB listed him at 1.94 m instead of the billed height of 1.96 or 1.98 m.

I don't know how he shrunk so much in such an early age but not only he's shrunk but also he looks 10 years older than his actual age.

Rob,do you agree?

Ricky said on 23/Nov/17I once thought about him being 6'4" in his prime.

When he did his first hollywood movie in 2006,IMDB listed him at 1.94 m instead of his billed height of 6'5" or 6'6".

Even I tried to investigate about his career in bodybuilding and his early start of wrestling,I thought that maybe at some point in his life he might have been 6'4".

Once I was watching a match in 2002 where he and Randy Orton stood eye to eye being at the same height where Orton was 22 and Batista was 33.

Then,in the stable Evolution in 2003 he never looked an inch shorter than Randy Orton.They were more like equal.

I have seen many times that Randy Orton gives taller impression with wrestlers who are equal to his height.

Then,after some years in 2008 it seemed like not only Batista had started losing his height but also getting weaker than before.

Stuart said on 17/Nov/17Doesn’t look much taller than Chris Pratt imho.

juggernaut said on 16/Nov/17I think Dave is still a bit below 6'3' but atleast he is not a liar like Dwayne Johnson who claims 6'5' eventhough nothing more than 6'2' and Dave was and still is taller than Dwayne imo..

Jim Hopper said on 30/Oct/17Billed at 6-6 to 6-7 wwe days hahahahahaha

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 26/Oct/176'3" peak, he always looked shorter than Orton.

mike johnson said on 26/Oct/17rob batista was bigger and taller than the rock back in 2004 so if the rock was 6'3 peak, how tall would batista be in his prime. my guess is 6'3.25-5

Ricky said on 23/Oct/17Present height is a bit short of 6'2.75" but in 189.2-180.9 cm range.
I saw him with Chris Pratt where he was only 0.5 inches taller than him.
Pratt is 6'2" so Batista at present is maybe about 6'2.5".

15 years ago he and Randy Orton were equal in height.
So peak height should be 6'3.5".

Canson said on 22/Oct/17Peak height may have been 6’3 and change today Rob has him accurately listed

John Rodriguez said on 22/Oct/17Peak Batista 6'3.25 191cm
Present Batista 6'2.25 189cm, he should get peak height.

Wrestlerfan said on 17/Oct/17@Malorath He looks about 2.5" shorter mayby 3 when they're standing next to each other in that vid. But I think Randy is a solid 6'4.5

Wrestlerfan said on 17/Oct/17@Malorath He looks about 2.5" shorter mayby 3 when they're standing next to each other. But I think Randy is a solid 6'4.5

Anonymous said on 13/Oct/17i can see him being anywhere from 6,2.5 to 6,4

Christian-6'5 3/8" said on 13/Oct/17@khelgor

True. This is why I find it a bit problematic when people say about a celeb "he's got the arms/legs/torso of a (insert height) guy". Everyone has different arm, leg and torso lengths at a given height, but I think people mean the average length for a guy of that height.

khelgor said on 10/Oct/17@Jason : not every one got the same arms and legs dude. There is 6'1 people with extra long legs/arms and 6'1 people with short arms for exemple ( take a loot at Stephen amell for exemple, who look 1m80 because of this but he is 6'1 in reality.)

Spencer said on 8/Oct/176'3"

hardguy said on 6/Oct/17imo Stronger version of rocks height

Heightster said on 4/Oct/17Barely a 1/2" at most or same as Gosling, footwear aside, in BLADE RUNNER 2049 trailer... Definite downgrade in order. And remember he is very close to trickster Chris Pratt who barefoot hovers in 5' 11" - 5' 11 1/2 range. Met Gosling twice up close. Barefoot Gosling stands 5' 11" possibly 1/2" over. Ryan did not wear lifts as far as I know, then. So, I give Bautista 5' 11" - 6' maximum, barefoot. With shoes on, 6' to 6' 1" depending on sole thickness.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Oct/176ft3 range peak

Jinx said on 4/Oct/17His present may be 6'2.75" but his peak height was no short than 6'4" in any way.

His peak height was 6'4"

Slim 6' said on 4/Oct/17He could've been the full 6'3", that's how tall he looked in the guardians films.

Anonymous said on 28/Sep/17His present height is 1.90 m but his peak height was 1.94 m

You all are comparing Dave and Orton,so remember the year 2002 or the days of evolution in 2003-04 or the year 2005 when they fought several times.
They both had same height,both weared same kind of boots while wrestling.

Some may say that Randy was taller then also so let me tell that when there are two people of same heights were one is mascular/fat while the other is Normal/Slim.
Then the person who is Normal/Slim seems to look taller than the person who is Mascular/Fat.We observe this thing many times in our daily life.

In the early years of the careers of both,they both were billed at 6'5" and after some years Dave was billed at 6'6".But they both had same heights.

At present Orton is taller than Dave.

Anonymous said on 25/Sep/17Rob I want you to find out his peak height,will you please do that??

I can bet he was 6'4" in his prime!!!!

Anonymous said on 23/Sep/17In his prime he was 6'4.5" and now he's 6'3"!!!!

Age factor and injuries may be the result of the loss of height but there is one more reason which leads to loss of muscle and height,which is intake of anabolic steroids.

Any person who takes steroids in younger age suffers the loss of muscle and height and starts looking older than his actual age.
Trust me this is a true fact!!!!

Though every second wrestler in the WWE takes steroids but people like Batista,Hulk Hogan,Lex Luger,Brock Lesnar who take steroids like meals work out 10 times harder than wrestlers having normal physique like Randy Orton,Stone Cold,Edge.As they get older they are not able to work out that hard suffer these kind of problems and Batista was the one who quit wrestling for 4 years so maybe his workout level may had reduced to normal.

If you all don't believe me then see Batista in 2003,2008 and 2014,you all will see 3 different Batistas

Thank You!!!!

Malaroth said on 8/Sep/17What do you make of this? I think Batista might need a serious downgrade for his present height, Randy Orton looks a solid 3" taller than him here.Click Here

Sarwara LV said on 5/Sep/17Click Here he can easily look 6'3.5-4 next to randy orton who is 6'4 and is standing in boots.. What you say rob how tall big dave is looking in this video.

Mateyboy said on 3/Sep/17Rob do you think this guy has loss some height I would have thought a man of his stature would have been 6"4 on a good day in his prime. 6"2 range is a joke I think even with loose posture he seems to edge out the reasonable 6"3 guys strong 6"3 to weak 6"4 is perfect!!

Editor Rob: a fraction is believable.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Sep/17Still looks this tall now. Makes me wonder if he was maybe a strong 6ft3...

Joker said on 27/Aug/17Peak 6'3.25 (very solid 191cm)
Today 6'2.5 (very strong 189 cm) . Imo there may be just a very small chance that today he measures 190 cm. All his career with lifting bodies and with his leaning posture most of the time much probably took him to 189cm but that's just my opinion

Ziggie said on 25/Aug/17WWE is so hilarious, he is listed 6'6" LOL

MSJC said on 25/Aug/17All of those Batista Bombs have shortened his spine.

Timothy C Peterkin said on 25/Aug/17I met Batista in 2005, I 've been measured at 71 inches barefoot for 20 years military. So in shoes I'm 6ft. Batista is at a minimum 6ft4 he was easily 4 inches taller than me. I met The Big Show of all places DMV, he's at least 6 ft 10.

Canson said on 24/Aug/17I concur with Christian he has horrendous posture now. Was easily 6'2-6'3 at one point

Johan said on 24/Aug/17Nah even when slouching he was taller than Dominic Purcell in that low budget movie they did together. Rob confirmed Dom as 6'0.5" and Dave was at least an inch taller looked nearer 2 inches to me in that movie. I actually thought he was legit 6'3" considering Dom had a 6'1" listing at the time. Now though around 6'2.5" would be max really that I can see him.

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 20/Aug/17He often looks sub-6'2" today, but most of it is posture related.

tom551 said on 15/Aug/176'4 at his peak 6'3 is good now.

tornado said on 14/Aug/17i would say he is about 6 foot 4

Anon2 said on 14/Aug/17He is struggling to look 6'2'' today with Shane, who at most is 6'1''. Click Here that's some height loss, going from a peak 6'3''

Rent said on 10/Aug/17This listing seems fair. He's not that much taller than 6'0.25" Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049 and Craig is clearly shorter but not dwarfed by him in Spectre.

J lim said on 3/Aug/17He is obviously somewhere between 6 feet two inches but not over 6 feet three inches, WWE like the NBA have their talents/Athetes listed 1-2 inches more than their actual height. It is stupid to claim that he is 6 feet 6 inches. Probably he wears three inch boots to come up to that freaking height. On one show in the phil, eat bulaga, he was standing close to a local artist named jimmy santos, who is around 6'1 to 6'2 there is not much of a difference in their height , and this is around 2008 or so, way back before his most recent run in the WWE where he obviously shrunk in height and is even smaller than randy orton by 2 inches.

Tak said on 2/Aug/17Batista has a V-shaped body, with very wide shoulders; this makes him look much taller to the eye's perspective.
6'2 peak 6'1 now MAX

Guanzo said on 1/Aug/17He is 6'6''

James B said on 31/Jul/17Doesn't look much taller then Brock lesner really

chris said on 30/Jul/17I wouldn't be surprised if he was 6'4 in the early 2000s, now he's much shorter. Probably 6'2.

Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 27/Jul/17191.5cm out of bed

Slim 182 cm said on 27/Jul/17Might be as high as 191.5 or 192. Towered Craig in spectre.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jul/17193.6cm out of bed

even said on 25/Jul/176 foot 6 ! you can't be ****ing siriyos .

Sean said on 21/Jul/17Peak: 6'3"
Current: 6'2"

Slim 182 cm said on 19/Jul/17edmullen, he'd have no reason to wear boots, at that very tall height. If anything, it'd be very uncomfortable to do stunts with 1,75-2 inches of footwear.

miko said on 17/Jul/17Steiner is 5'11.

Fan said on 17/Jul/17He looked much taller then a 6'1" Scott Steiner, does big poppa pump have a page?

edmullen said on 16/Jul/17Unless he wore lifts, which i dont see the point when hes already basically 6'3 ?

edmullen said on 16/Jul/17im sorry he's atleast gotta be 192cm, Look at him RR 2005 vs 183cm cena, atleast a 9cm gap between them

Slim 181 cm said on 16/Jul/176'3 max. Looked it in guardians of the galaxy.

S.J.H said on 12/Jul/17Batista is def taller than The Rock

The Ben said on 12/Jul/17Terrible posture.
Could be 6'3 but could also be under 6'2. On episode 24 of muscle expert podcast he says (without much conviction) that's he's 6'4.
I was ringside in 05 and Batista towered over me, I would have said 6'4-6'5. I can only put it down to serious lifts.
When he returned to WWE he looked like he'd lost 2 inches.

come on guys, even 6'2 is too much for batista today. strong 6'1 at max. really dont understand why rob dont chancge this rate. at least change it to a peak height and a nowdays height, like arnold, hogan pages. the heigh difference between peak and nowdays is CLEARLY more than a inch, it definitely deserves a then/now rate.

even said on 5/Jul/17hes 190 cm in length and 120 kg in weight

WarlordOfSparta said on 5/Jul/17Batista is around 6 feet 2 right now or even less looked shorter than shane mcmahon who looked a bit shorter than Brock Lesnar and he looked around the same with triple h nowdays

Fan said on 2/Jul/17A 6'4'' man would never look like this standing next to a 6'2'' man.

Fan said on 2/Jul/17I am sure they all wear lifts or shoes that make them taller. That photo with RZA proves it all.

Rick said on 1/Jul/17He could very well be 6'4, he looks it with Triple H.

joe### said on 27/Jun/17187-188 peak 190

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jun/17He looks 190cm today

randyorton said on 25/Jun/17actually peak bautista was 6'3.75"

randyorton said on 25/Jun/17batista:
6'3.25" back in the day 270-275lbs
6'2"-6'1.75" today 260-265lbs

Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 19/Jun/176'2.75" peak same as The Rock. Dave might be 6'2.5" today but no more.

Juggernaut said on 19/Jun/17Bautista prime same as The Rock or a bit taller..They say he wore lifts but I've seen his boots and don't think he ever did..perhaps a little bigger sole..nonetheless 6'3'25 before today after all the surgeries,toll and abuse from pro-wrestling He at best 6'2'75 as guessed by Rob but due to his bad posture can look 6'2'...

Canson said on 16/Jun/17Ben affleck is not 6'4" even in shoes. Batista looks 6'3ish albeit maybe a 6'2.75ish like listed or full at most

miko said on 16/Jun/17Batista was never anywhere near 6'4. He's always looked a weak 6'3 guy from his early WWE days when he was in his early 30's.

If he's lost any noticeable height I'd be very surprised, in his last WWE run he was looking solid 6'2.5 range.

Dougie Jay said on 15/Jun/17I would say 6'2.5 by comparing him next to other stars in that height range. He has lost probably two inches from his prime wrestling days and his posture is not the best either. The rigors of wrestling also took a toll on his frame.

Mark said on 9/Jun/17it's really hard to say because he never stands with proper posture. sometimes he looks taller taller than Chris Pratt and sometimes he looks shorter. same goes for him standing with Shane McMahon. during the Muscle & Fitness event he looked short compared to him but other times he looked taller. what is consistent is when people say he has a massive back, that he has a very wide frame. peak height id put him at 6'3 and change. today i'd say anywhere between 6'2.5 and 6'3. if he stood up as straight as possible id give him a weak 6'3. as for his weight, they always billed him somewhere close to 300lbs. for wrestlers that means you take away 10-15lbs. i read somewhere that since he's been doing a lot of weight lifting recently he's back up to his wrestling weight of 280lbs. idk how believable that is but i'd say he's 270lbs or less. he's got a big chest, back, and legs which is where most of his weight im guessing is. sorry for the super long comment, i just really admire the guy and he's always been very inspiring to me

Mark(5'9.25") said on 5/Jun/17He was taller than Elizabeth Debicki (who wore an inch heel).

He's not shorter than this and deserves a peak to 6'3"

Mr. Prez said on 30/May/17He could definitely be 6'4".

Logan said on 29/May/17Batista is 6,4 maybe 6,5 at his peak he is 1 inch taller than Triple H.

Insecure said on 21/May/17Idk how you can keep him near 6'3. The dude loves boots and high heeled shoes. He has appeared shorter than Chris Pratt many times. About the same height as RZA. Only 3in, 4in MAX taller than Daniel Craig. Id say 6'1.75" to be fair as his height fluctuates constantly cause of his foot wear
